DAHLIAS 
1939 
JERSEY’S BEACON (F. D.) This big Chinese scarlet is 
known wherever Dahlias are grown. The flowers are 
large and globular in form. It is a prolific bloomer and 
very rigid stems. Roots $ .35 
JERSEY’S BEAUTY (F. D.) There is no doubt more of 
this grown for the cut flower markets than any other one 
variety. The lovely pink color, and the many other good 
points, such as long erect stems, and good keeping qual¬ 
ities, make it one of our finest standard varieties. It 
should be cut back and induced to branch to secure the 
maximum number of flowers. Roots $ .50 
KALIF (S. C.) Large rich scarlet. Long stems. Roots $ .50 
KENTUCKY (F. D.) A sport of Jersey’s Beauty and identi¬ 
cal in every way except color which is combination of soft 
salmon, orange and gold. Equally good as a cut flower 
as its parent. Roots $ .50

MARGARET WOODROW WILSON (I. D.) An exhibition 
decorative of large size and great beauty. The face of 
the petals is creamy white with a reverse of phlox-pink, 
giving an opalescent effect. Roots $ .35 
META SCAMMELL (I. D.) A big amaranth pink having 
many long curling petals. Free flowering and highly 
recommended for an inexpensive variety. Roots $ .35 
MRS. EDNA SPENCER (In. Cac.) This is a Dahlia which 
can be particularly recommended for cutting as the 
flowers have wonderful keeping qualities, and stand erect 
on the best of stems. The color is also very pleasing, 
being a delicate orchid shading to white. Roots $ .50

suffusions. High centers with pointed petals. A good 
reliable old sort. Roots $ .35 
MRS. I. DE VER WARNER (F. D.) We know of nothing 
better in old or new varieties than this orchid giant. An 
old standby which holds its own with the best of the new 
ones. Very thrifty, strong growers, good stems and a 
fine cut flower. Roots $ .25
